Switching to a different Lexicon #97

I was wondering if there was an easy way to switch from the vader_lexicon to the nyt lexicon which is referenced on this github.

No. The NYT data is not a lexicon - it is a set of news stories from the New York Times. It's used for testing the accuracy of VADER sentiment against text from printed news.
